SPAIN’S King Felipe VI and top government officials were pelted with mud during their first visit today to the epicentre of the deadly Valencian flood disaster.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was evacuated when the official contingent started to walk the mud-covered streets of Paiporta, one of the hardest hit areas where over 60 people died.

An angry crowd hurled mud and wielded shovels and poles at the group, with some shouting: “Get out! Get out!” and “Killers!”

“They knew it, they knew it and yet they did nothing,” one young man shouted at the king.

Many people in the area still do not have drinking water five days after the floods struck. Internet and mobile phone coverage remains patchy.

Most people only got power back on Saturday. The neighbourhood’s shops and supermarkets are in ruins.

More than 200 people have died from Tuesday’s floods and thousands have had their homes destroyed by the tsunami-like wave.

Most of the cleanup of the layers of mud and debris that have invaded countless homes has been done by residents and thousands of volunteers.
